My solution for this problem. Is it "smart"? Any advice?

var message = '';
var student;
var match;

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



do {

    var search = prompt('What is the name of the student you are searching for? Enter "quit" to exit');
    if (search == 'quit' || search == null){
      break;
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) {
    student = students[i];
        if (search === student.name){
          message += '<h2>Student: ' + student.name + '</h2>';
          message += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>';
          message += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>';
          message += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>';
          print(message);
          match = true;
        } 
    } if (match !== true){
      print('<p>Student not found.</p>');
    } 

   } while (match !== true)

maybe look into es6 template strings for your message; but looks great!
