Getting object name not value

Is there a way to get the object name and not the value?

var students = [
  {
    name: "Rhys",
    track: "Fullstack Javascript",
    achievments: 183,
    points: 6732
  },
  {
    name: "Ryan",
    track: "MySQL",
    achievments: 34,
    points: 1092
  },
  {
    name: "James",
    track: "Fullstack Web Developer",
    achievments: 431,
    points: 29432
  }
];

for (var prop in students) {
  var list = "<h2>Name: " + students[prop].name + "</h2>";
  list += "<p>Track: " + students[prop].track;
  list += "<br>Achievements: " + students[prop].achievments;
  list += "<br>Points: " + students[prop].points + "</p>";
  print(list);
}

function print(message) {
  var div = document.getElementById('output');
  div.innerHTML += message;
}

Is there a way for me to not hard code "Achievements:", "Name:" and be able to get the property name directly from the array of objects?
