Here's my solution/code.

function printStudent(obj){ 
  var html = '<b> Student: ' + obj.student + '</b>'; 
  html += '<p> Track: ' + obj.track + '</p>'; 
  html += '<p> Points: ' + obj.points + '</p>'; 
  html += '<p> Achievements: ' + obj.achievements + '</p>'; 
  document.write(html);
}

var search;

while(true) {
  search = prompt('Enter a student name then type quit to see the data'); 
  search = search.toLowerCase();

  if(search === 'quit' || search === null){ 
    break;
  }

  for(var i = 0; i < students.length; i++) {
    if(search === students[i].student.toLowerCase()) {
      printStudent(students[i]);
    }
  }
}

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