Not printing to page

I can't seem to figure out what's missing here. When I preview the workspace only the heading "Students" appears--none of the JavaScript objects are printing.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Students</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css">
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Students</h1>
  <div id="output">

  </div>
  <script src="js/students.js"></script>
  <script src="js/student_report.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

students.js

var students = [
  {
    name: "Buster",
    track: "Astronaut",
    achievements: 3,
    points: 250
  },
  {
    name: "Dora",
    track: "Explora",
    achievements: 29,
    points: 7003
  },
  {
    name: "Charlie",
    track: "Glass Blower",
    achievements: 52,
    points: 1200
  },
  {
    name: "Loretta",
    track: "Comic Book Writer",
    achievements: 10,
    points: 84
  },
  {
    name: "Jobe",
    track: "Priest",
    achievements: 19,
    points: 44
  }
];

student_report.js

var html = "";
var student;

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

for ( var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1 ) {
  student = students[i];
  html += "<h2>Student: " + student.name + "</h2>";
  html += "<p>Track: " + student.track + "</p>";
  html += "<p>Achievements: " + student.achievements + "</p>";
  html += "<p>Points: " + student.points + "</p>";
}

print(html);

Thanks for the help!

Hi Connor,

Your code works as intended locally. Maybe a file isn't saved in workspaces?
